Yamaha / ITP Quadcross
"Cahuilla Creek" - Round 8
Anza, CA - Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson mounted a comeback at round eight of the Yamaha ITP Quadcross series to take the Pro Production win in an effort to reclaim the points lead and defend his title from Can-Am Motoworks’ Jeremie Warnia.

Cahuilla Creek Motocross Park was the hosting facility for the event. Round eight of the ITP Quadcross series was the first race ever to be held at this new facility and things went well for it being a first time. “Everything went well and I think it was pretty successful for them especially for it being a first time,” stated Chad Wienen, who will also be racing at the final Quadcross round at Glen Helen in November.

Every round of the 2009 Yamaha ITP Quadcross series has been a battle between blue and yellow so far this season, with Dustin Nelson and Jeremie Warnia going toe to toe, and this round was no exception. Tensions were high as racers took to the line for the first Pro Production moto, with Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson in a six point deficit from leader Jeremie Warnia. Nelson knew the competition would be tough as there were several National pros who made the trek to the California desert to get in some seat time, but that didn’t stop him from taking the moto one win.

“I was second off the line behind Nick DeNoble, but I got around him after a few turns and just rode hard and tried to not make any mistakes,” said Nelson who held his lead all the way to the checkered flag despite pressure from Can-Am Motoworks’ Chad Wienen.

Wienen was third off the line and soon took over second as he made his way through the first lap. Wienen was right on Nelson, but the somewhat narrow track offered limited opportunities for passing forcing Wienen to settle for second.

Yamaha’s Thomas Brown, who was in CA doing some testing for the boys in blue, was looking smooth as he charged off the line. Brown steadily worked his way up until reaching the number three spot, where he would finish for the first moto.

Jeremie Warnia got off to a slower than usual start in moto one and had his work cut out for him as he tried to get to the front. Warnia who is the current Pro Production points leader held strong and finished in a solid fourth.

John Natalie - Can-Am Motoworks DS450 ATV

Can-Am Motoworks’ John Natalie was also on hand for this round and was holding steady in the number five spot shadowing Warnia all the way to the finish line, while Yamaha’s Justin Noss put on a good show and was on Natalie’s heels in sixth as they crossed the finish line.

Nick DeNoble, who had grabbed the moto one holeshot, fell back to the number seven spot with Jason Dunkleberger following in eighth and Josh Frederick in ninth, while Honda mounted Landon Hurst was back from injury to place tenth for the first moto.
